not for the speedtch, because the work gets scheduled by the interrupt
endpoint completion handler also, without a delay.

Something will need to be done, but I think we should first get what
we have now into the kernel.  We can perfect it later.

PS: Another possibility, rather than a workqueue, is to simply only
do asynchronous IO (i.e. don't use the _msg stuff).
